Description
US Army equipment in fire power demonstration, Fort Knox, Kentucky--A demonstration of fire power at Fort Knox, Kentucky, where the US army is training soldiers for mechanized units.

Armor-proofing of these tanks permit their crews to go through this fire without injury. Men being trained for the mechanized forces get this actual battle practice with real ammunition.
